I've Never Been to France

I've never been to France
but I've seen the elephant
and watched the monsoons dance
on the muddy water
churning in the PBR's wake.
I've listened to the cant of the CPO's rant
but I've never been to France,
I'd like to have had the chance.

I've never been to France
but I've ridden the tornado
and watched the bullets dance
through the muddy water
churning in the PBR's wake.
I came in bravado through Laredo
but I've never been to France,
and I never had the chance.

I've never been to France
but I've seen beaucoup grunts fall
and watched them do the death dance
in the muddy water
churning in the PBR's wake.
I let engines stall but now they're on the wall,
and they never got to France,
though I'm sure they'd have liked the chance.
